The evening holds the cacophony of nature: pond frogs, birds, crickets and an occasional coyote howling in the distance. Deer can wander through the yard along with bunnies, red squirrels, groundhogs & chipmunks. It’s a perfect renewal for the soul.

A peaceful paradise

A peaceful paradise

The house is utterly charming, cozy, and comfortable. The country surroundings are very scenic and serene. The ample backyard provides a lot of privacy for contemplation, reading, conversation, or whatever you prefer. Since we are history buffs, we liked the fact that the original part of the house was built in 1791, yet the house provided the modern conveniences that we wanted.The owner was very helpful in answering our questions. We had a very refreshing and rejeuvenating stay!

The house was very comfortable and very clean. It can accommodate quite a few people with room to spare. Communication with Delana was excellent and she went to great lengths to make sure we had what we needed before our stay. Thank You Delana! We will be back!

Perfect for our needs

Perfect for our needs

We used this property for a golf trip/reunion - 6 guy who worked together back in the 80's making the trip to share some good times and bad golf. Sure, it's not the fanciest place around, but it was quiet, private, very comfortable and a perfect place for us to relax and reconnect after so many years. Being able to hang out in the living room and swap stories and memories in such a comfortable, homey setting made the entire week a great success - thank you to the owners for letting us stay there for the weekend! Some things you'll want to know -- there's no A/C, but fans kept the place cool enough during a very hot weekend. The place is old - built in 1791. There's a stove, microwave, coffee maker, fridge, etc -- but if you want fancy, this ain't it. It's serviceable, functional and it's clear the owners do love the place and take good care of it. The house has a shallow well pump, old plumbing and a small water heater - so we took quick showers spaced out. Water pressure was minimal but again, it was functional and somehow it all added to the charm of the place. We had 4 bedrooms, a pull out couch and used another couch for our group of 6 - all very comfortable and we never felt cramped. We enjoyed the fire pit on the back patio (I hope that was okay) and enjoyed the very private setting. If you don't need luxury, but do want a nice, inexpensive and enjoyable place for a trip, I recommend the property very much. I'm not so sure it's great for children, but for our group, it helped make our trip memorable.

old farmhouse with all of the comforts of home

old farmhouse with all of the comforts of home

My family and I needed a place to stay for a hockey tournament. This was perfect for us. The wood burner was Fantastic and the beds were comfortable. Everything you need to cook a meal is in the kitchen (except the food, of course) the market is about 5 min away. This was perfect for us. The cons: Remember you are in an old farmhouse. There are creaks and drafts and critters outside. The water pressure is low but not terrible. And the shower head is low, so my 6 ft son had to bend to get his head under the shower . Overall this is a great place to stay.

Nice old charming house

Nice old charming house

we liked the house very much, specially the old charm. Delana was very easy to communicate. Lots of antique things in the house. Everything was in place. Beds were really comfortable, bathroom were clean. Living room and dining room was perfect for our group. Though we didn't like the muddy smell (Delana explained the reason), but it will go away after spending 30min into the house.
